MAINTENANCE
Fasteners
After a few hours use, check entire machine and tighten any loose nuts or bolts. Daily or periodic
checks should be made thereafter.
Shanks
After 5 hours of operation, and every 50 hours thereafter, check to make sure that the shank pivot
bolts are tight. Loose pivot bolts will permit the bushing to rotate in the spring holder causing the
holes to wear, resulting in sloppy shank support.
Tires
The wheels furnished with the FIELD CULTIVATOR are designed for use with 9.5L-15, 8 ply rib
implement tires on the center section, 7.60-15, 6 ply rib implement tires are used on the wings when
they are equipped with walking beams. When single tires are used on the wings, 9.5L-15, 8 ply tires
are used. Wing gage wheels on the 16 through 19 foot wide models are designed for use with 6.70-
15, 4 ply or 7.60-15 4 ply tires. These tires must be inflated to 44 psi.
NOTE: USE OF SMALLER OR LIGHTER TIRES WILL CAUSE PREMATURE TIRE
FAILURE AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
Lubrication
Lubricate your field cultivator at the locations shown in figure 7. The number in the lubrication sym-
bol indicates the hourly interval between greasing.
Always lubricate your field cultivator before taking it to the field for the first time.
Lower the implement unto the shanks before greasing.
Replace any missing fittings and clean all fittings before greasing.
Wheel bearings and walking beam bearings should be repacked annually. Follow the disassembly
and reassembly procedures on page 15 figure 8 when repacking these bearings.
When the machine is not to be used for some time, exposed portions of the cylinder rods should
be cleaned and covered with a thick coat of grease. This will prevent corrosion which will damage
seals.
